From this article it seems to me that Short will be signed eventually. Obviously Getlleman doesn't negotiate contracts during the season because that can cause distractions. So the signing if it happens this year, will have to happen before week 1. Even if KK doesn't get extended this year I fully expect a long-term deal to be done. I also believe that KK loves it in Carolina he has said this plenty of times. Another thing is that everyone on the team wants him back on the team after this year. We also will be able to use the franchise tag on him next year if we can't get a deal done by then

Remember the report that came out at the beginning of camp that talks had stalled and you all tried to rationalize it as just another Dave gettleman feat of undeniable awesomeness? 

 

"of course they ain't talking! Mah gettledaddy already said he don't do no negotiating during the season! Gettlemagic tells it like it is!"

 

Here's Dave negotiating during the season.

We gave up any and all leverage when we openly admitted to letting Josh go for the specific purpose of resigning KK.

If there was one thing I didn't like about letting Josh go. This was definetly it, KK has all the cards in negotiations currently. We might have to give him the 17 million per that he is asking for

Not accurate.

We still have all of the leverage, KK has very little and knows it.

Having "the leverage" isn't a magical entity awarded to the side you want "to win."

Kawann is a young, elite player at an enormously significant position and has heard us talk about how much money we intend to throw at him all off season. This is furthered by the fact that players like Aaron Donald and Fletcher Cox are setting a standard which he has a rightful claim to.

 

Saying "well you can just go play for another team, we're good at DT" isn't leverage-because he gladly will and get the money he feels he deserves.

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Overall, fine.  Wish we landed a guy to pair with Lloyd but I presume this means they're giving Trevin one final year to put it together (72nd overall 2 years back).  Flashed potential year 1, had a dud last year.   R1: Freeling LT - Great value and a need; landed our new long term LT that could end up starting off the bat.  Icky had a terrible injury and is not playing in his contract year.  Walker is what he is on a 1-year rental, who even knows how he fits. You get premier OTs early if you can find em' and he has what you want.  I thought he could have gone as high as 6/CLE pre-draft, so am a big fan of the selection.  Looking at this class, he's one of the guys at the top that is like "okay that's the LT".  Others have this right/left or G/T type discussion about them.  Freeling is an LT.   R2: Hunter NT - We didn't really have anyone replacing A'Shawn's snaps in our rotation.  Wharton & Brown aren't 3 downers so adding Hunter to the mix fills a big void. I dug deep into S and LB this draft so was a bit to zeroed in - In recognize the value and impact add in the trenches. R3: Brazzell WR - Intriguing.  Given our history, I don't really want to place any expectations here, but a different style weapon for Bryce. I pretty much expect a WR drafted yearly with this regime. Other notables.. Hecht C - These are the type of rounds where starting centers have been found.  We got a starter for this year, but Hecht seems pretty capable and I like it for a long term find.  SOLID AF.  Wheatley S - A pretty well regarded safety prospect.  And we see it every year (like this one) safeties get hyped, people think they may go sooner than expected, and the league reminds them how it rolls.  Plenty of nice safeties have been found in the 4th-6th in recent years.  Big fan of Wheatley. Can't say I know enough about Lee or the others.

      I'm excited. I love situations like this when you could potentially find a diamond in the rough on the cheap. And you know guys like this are gonna put in the work and desire way more than others to be great.
